5 Questions with… Tyo
1. What’s your name, where are you from, and what’s your role at BlueGreen Tanzania Safaris?
My name is Tyo, and I’m from Denmark with roots in Ethiopia. With my mother having spent part of her childhood in Moshi, Tanzania, I have travelled a lot to East Africa throughout my life. In 2018, I visited Zanzibar for the first time and immediately fell in love with the island and its people. First I commuted between Denmark and Zanzibar. In the summer of 2024, however, I moved here and now live on this beautiful island with my husband, who is originally from Arusha. I now travel frequently between Zanzibar and Arusha, which, in my opinion, are the two best places in Tanzania!
I have been working as a content writer and translator for BlueGreen Tanzania Safaris and Africa Safari Trips since May 2025. I translate website texts, newsletters, and travel proposals from English into Danish and also manage the images for the website and our social media channels on top of it.
2. What’s your favourite destination in Tanzania and why?
I can’t choose just one place. To me it’s both Zanzibar (on the south/east coast) and Arusha, because you get the best of both worlds: beautiful beaches, palm trees, and warmth on one side and the fresh mountain air, stunning mountains on the other – Arusha is also the starting point for the northern safari routes with beautiful waterfalls and breathtaking nature.

- 3. Which safari experience would you recommend to someone visiting for the first time?
- If you have many days to explore Tanzania and crave the full safari experience, you should visit Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater . Should you only have a couple of days to spend, I would recommend Tarangire National Park , which I call “the little Serengeti” and is also known as the elephants’ paradise. It’s a beautiful park with plenty of wildlife.
